Bootable drive

When you made the clone with Carbon Copy Cloner, did you select the option to make bootable?
Was the target drive formated Mac OS Extended, journaling enabled?
The location and size of the drive are not the problem.

Hi,
I'm trying to clone ALL my Macintosh HD drive to another Hard Drive and make it bootable. I have Carbon Copy Cloner but I don't see the option to make it bootable.

Or what's the best way to do this?

Better late then never, for anyone else FYI, this is what i've found,

1. Format ANY brand new HDD into- Mac OS Extended (journaled), only takes a few moments. Go to the manufacturer of the hardrive to get the pin settings of your drive if it didn't come with instructions.

2. Kinda sorta. The drive that you are going to be Booted into and used the most should be on the end of the cable. Pinned as Master or cable select. From what i understand the computer will poll that one first for a start up disk,etc. The other one, bootable or not, is on the middle connector. Pinned as slave or cable select, both drives will be bootable from either connection, but both drives should be cable select if you need it that way. There's only a couple G-4's that use the cable select, I don't need it on my 450 AGP or 533 DA. On the smaller HDD's it probably doesn't really make a difference but on the larger ones it might be noticable as far as access time.

3. Yes. On the early G-4's they can only see 128 gigs. It's hardware. You will have to buy a PCI card for the larger drives. Or, there is an aftermarket software work around to get it to read the larger ones if your short on PCI slots. www.speedtools.com. It's about the same price as the PCI card. Make sure the PCI card is bootable tho if you want to boot from it, some of the older cards couldn't. Pretty much ALL the newer External drive housings can read the larger drives but if you use them as a boot drive remember to UNcheck the "put hard drives to sleep when possible" box in your Energy Saver Preferences. You probably shouldn't have the computer sleep also, my kids 533 computer get's half way awake when it wakes up from sleep with it's booted from the Firewire drive and can't do any thing else. I'm guessing the computer gave up looking for the active boot drive before the Extenal has a chance to spin up?

4. Depends on what you use you're computer for. For every day use you would probably not even notice the defference. If you get a Ultra ATA with a big cache, 16 'ish, it will be pretty close to the early SATA's. But you will still need a SATA PCI card to use SATA drives. I think they do make an ATA / SATA card. One channel each. If you use any PRO Graphic Software's, movie editing and the like, that do a lot of tranferring of files to or from your disk or a separate scratch disk you will probably see a difference.
